It was kind of surprising. He actually made it look pretty effective. Has anyone tried such a tactic for putting up a furbearer? Maybe the plastic tube was all he had in his garage, I don't know.

I do all my larger critters on it. I also have a 1-1/2" (I believe) pvc pipe for doing mink. Ive never really tried a wood beam. this works pretty well for me
